Upon the death of his father a number of years ago, a young soldier now stationed at Hill field was placed in an orphanage. Adopted at the age of eight by a family living in Washington, the boy had neither seen nor heard from his widowed mother since that time. However, he began a nation-wide search for her several years ago, after the death of his foster mother. Clue after clue led to nothing but disappointment, though, and the young soldier was about to give up in despair when he received word from friends in Riverside, Cal., that she had been located. The good news came at a bad time, however, for even though he was granted a furlough the soldier was without sufficient funds to pay his transportation, and pay day was still a long way off. But as so often happens, the American Red Cross heard about his sad plight and came to the rescue. After verifying his story, that organization loaned the young man money for transportation, took care of the details necessary to secure reservations, and sent him on his way to Riverside, there to see his own mother for the first time in more than 20 years.
